I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.

What a beautiful moment that photograph captures.
What a loving moment the words capture.
How our lives do spin, and turn around, and return.
